    Hi guys, sorry for the late reply, I’ve been travelling for most of September,

    Please use only the server values, visible on the dashboard or returned by the server API, as those are further compensated to correct issues related to internal heating that affects temperature and humidity readings.

    Although all units are calibrated against a common reference, there is a software interface in place that can be used to do additional adjustments where needed. We can apply this to any discrepancies in the returned parameters when compared to other equipment.

    Country for E7 and E2 is set to AU.

    For the 820000FA, please do a new test for Temperature and Humidity and let me know if you need any offset to be added. Again, make sure you are using the server returned results, not the local json. From you last post the correction would be T:-3.8 and H:+8.83
    The CO2 sensor has an autocalibration algorithm, that triggers every 24h. Most likely the readings will be correct.

    The VOC AQI algorithm has the purpose of providing comparable readings between the various MOX sensors used in the A3 units. It is very similar to the one developed by Bosch for their BME680 sensor. It uses the last 24hours of VOC raw readings to establish a minimum and a maximum, and then the readings are computed as a percentage scaled on the 0 to 500 interval. If you saw a big change it was due to a new 24hours interval introducing new min / max values to the calculations.

    It is not a bug, the “all” option cannot be used for intervals longer than 24hours. This is the way the code was implemented.

    Hi there, and welcome! Go for a few A3 units, they are very cost effective detectors that you can use for your pilot!

    Hi Carl,

    I’m excited about meeting you here and look forward to putting some of your excellent ideas/feedback into practice.

    Hi @domene, I just fixed it:

    The Wifi module was replaced, there’s a new VOC sensor as a little bonus, and the firmware was also upgraded to the latest version. The PM2.5 sensor has also been replaced with a new one.

    Will ship it back to you soon,

    Radu

    Hello @ybm,

    The unit was fixed, I replaced the compensation capacitors and two transistors in the counting circuit.

    The tube itself was OK!

    Soon to be shipped back!

    Hi Sam, for lowering the frequency there are no issues other than entering the audible spectrum. I can confirm your results here.

    Please note that the voltage regulator algorithm thinks that with increased duty cycle there comes increased voltage. If you’re seeing serious swings you might need to change it.

    The tubes well shielded by design in regards to RF, but the counter circuit (PCB traces, components) are not. But I don’t think the high voltage inverter is of concern here.

    Having two units is definitely the way to go here, and try to get the Ethernet running so you can automate the process.

    Good luck!

    Hi @Sam,

    Indeed the MPSA42 and the 2.2mH inductor are critical in terms of quality. But I wouldn’t blame the Chinese channels. After all, everything is made there, just be careful when you select the goods and the provider.

    Please increase R1 from 100 to 1K and R2 to 47K.

    What duty cycle does this give you? NExt try to change the frequency, in inverter.h, in the code. Try to reduce it by 1kHz until down to 10kHz. What do you see?

    Here’s a nice chart I made from a similar circuit: https://www.pocketmagic.net/global-radiation-monitoring-network/#131005

    The 14000013 should be muted now. Please confirm.

    Thanks

    Please try the new firmware I sent you before anything else.

    @Wolferl is right, and his comment made me look at something else. I don’t know how I checked this first, because I had it on my mind: https://www.uradmonitor.com/tools/dashboard-04/?open=11000007

    The duty cycle is too high. The firmware reboots the unit when the duty cycle reaches 80% . So this is why it appeared as having network issues, the reboot happened right after Ethernet initialisation (including DHCP lease), just to take everything all over again.
    This is not the true duty cycle received by the switching transistor because there is a second blocking transistor that quick closes the gate so it is not dangerous for the parts even if the value seems high.

    The model A doesn’t have a voltage multiplier, so the inverter works harder to jump from 5V to 380V needed for the tube. The ferrite core’s permeability is affected by temperature, but I see the weather is chill there. Replacing the inductor would help, but let’s put software first: I can provide a modified firmware that lowers the switching frequency and achieves higher voltage with less effort. It will also remove It approaches the audible spectrum though, as we are already at about 15.5KHz

    Please check your mail.

    Thanks both for your help and patience!

    No problem. Can you run a few tests on a different network?
